Chapter 371 First mover advantage
The main street was covered with dust.
Even the whole town was shattered, with smoke and smoke filled the air.
Wang Ye and the others just lurked in the ruins of this house for a moment, and their bodies were covered with dust, and even the white towels turned into gray towels.
It's just less than fifty meters away.
It’s hard to see clearly across the street from the main street.
However, without looking at Wang Ye, you can know that among the ruins of houses on both sides of their left and right, and among the ruins of houses across the street, there are hundreds of soldiers and militia lurking.
A crisp jingle sound came into my ears.
Turning his head a little, Wang Ye saw the first Japanese devil.
Wearing a steel helmet, holding a bayonet cover, bent over, bowed his back, moved forward step by step, and a pair of small eyes kept scanning the ruins on the street.
Behind this Japanese, two other Japanese followed.
The three Japanese searched all the way, heading towards the center of the town. This was a vanguard group.
Unless the Japanese vanguards enter the ruins, it is impossible to find their existence.
But the Japanese vanguards would never enter the ruins at this time, because for the vanguards, the most urgent task is to search for several main streets and make sure there are no barricades of the Eighth Route Army on the street.
Because of traditional urban warfare, the main battlefield is several main streets in the city.
Once the main street is lost, the defenders will be divided and surrounded in several small areas. Then it will be inevitable that they will be surrounded, wiped out, or defeated one by one.
But the Independence Corps did not fight the traditional urban war this time.
Because even if they give up the street, they can still dispatch troops through authentic tunnels.
Wang Ye let go of the trigger a little, but it was just a vanguard team, and it was not worth their first advantage.
In street battles, the defense generally has a first-hand advantage. Before the enemy has figured out its own troop deployment and firepower configuration, they can concentrate enough troops to ambush the enemy with firepower. Usually, they can severely damage or even wipe out the enemy troops that are put into the attack without any suspense.
Therefore, Wang Ye would never waste this opportunity on the Japanese vanguard team.
Not long after the vanguard team passed, the Japanese troops drove in in a huge storm.
There was about a team of more than fifty Japanese infantrymen, and two Type 95 light tanks guided the front.
Seeing this, Wang Ye was inevitably a little disappointed. The Japanese actually used only one infantry team? It's too late.
At this time, Wang Ye didn't know that the Japanese attack was launched at the same time from three directions, and Japanese infantry and tank troops of the same size were also discovered in the other two directions.
Wang Ye quietly turned his pistol horizontally and pointed the muzzle forward.
But I didn't rush to open the fire, and waited for the Japanese tanks to come over.
The two tanks quickly drove over, and the infantry followed.
While moving, a Japanese man stopped without warning.
Another Japanese man asked, "Shuhujun, what are you looking at?"
The Japanese man suddenly raised the 38th cover in his hand and shouted: "Chinese soldiers!"
Seeing this, Wang Ye knew that it must be a militia that had been exposed. He pulled the trigger without hesitation, and after pulling it, it did not release it. The bullet of the mullet immediately splashed over in a fan shape.
Several Japanese devils were knocked down immediately, including that Shuhu.
Almost at the same time, the independent regiment soldiers and militia lurking in other shooting positions also opened fire.
However, Chen Quan prepared a total of fifteen light machine guns for the Japanese on this main street.
In an instant, dozens of dazzling flames bloomed without warning from the ruins of houses on both sides of the street, sweeping towards more than fifty Japanese on the street.
The Japanese were in chaos.
"Distract quickly and find cover."
"Kuri Mujun, lie down, lie down quickly!"
"Naozawa Jun, the first team seized the ruins on the right side of the street!"
"Send a signal to the chariot team quickly, let them come back, send a signal quickly! Send a signal!"
"Ahhhh, I'm shot, I'm going to die, Matsushima Jun, please hand over my suicide note to my mother, please."
More than fifty Japanese infantry were in a mess in an instant, and wherever dazzling flames passed, one after another of the Japanese fell into a pool of blood, and in a blink of an eye, half lay down.
Faced with such a sudden and intensive fire attack, even a well-trained army would be in chaos.
But fortunately, after nearly half of the casualties, the remaining half of the Japanese finally moved to the streets.
However, it is useless, because even if you hide on the street, you can only avoid the firepower from one side, and the machine gun firepower from the other side can still be fired at them.
The casualties of the Japanese are still increasing rapidly.
At this time, the tank that guided the Japanese infantry to attack finally came back.
All this happened just now, and more than twenty machine gun fire points suddenly appeared, almost filling the tank's narrow and long observation holes, so the gunners and machine gunners of the two tanks were a little confused.
But just a few seconds later, the tank gunners and machine gunners responded quickly.
First, two front-firing heavy machine guns opened fire, and then two 37mm main guns also opened fire one after another.
In close-range street fighting, the lethality of the flat-fired cannons was still very terrifying. Only when two cannons were heard, the two light machine guns of the Eighth Route Army immediately stopped.
It probably has been destroyed.
But the independent group was obviously preparing.
Simple flammable bottles are undoubtedly a powerful tool to deal with Japanese tanks.
Almost at the moment when the Japanese tanks opened fire, more than a dozen militiamen rushed up from the ruins on the street, and saw that the dozen militias were carrying the ignited beggar version of the mooring bottle.
These molten bottles are modified with soju.
Although it is very simple, it has enough lethality.
"Bang bang!" More than a dozen moor bottles hit the armor of the two tanks.
In a blink of an eye, two tanks ignited a huge fire one after another, and the fire quickly engulfed the entire tank.
Within two minutes, the temperature in the tank compartment rose sharply, and the tank soldiers inside could no longer hold it in, and they lifted the top cover of the turret to try to climb out.
But waiting for them is dense machine gun fire.
The battle ended soon, and more than 50 Japanese infantrymen who broke into Dagu Town from the front street intersection were all shot dead, and perhaps some pretended to be dead, but most of the Japanese must have been shot dead.
The two tanks that guided the attack also fell into a fire.
At this time, gunfire came from the other two directions.
Only then did Wang Ye realize that there were also battles breaking out between the other two street intersections.
I just don’t know what the situation is like in the other two directions?
At this time, several militia suddenly rushed out of the ruins on the street.
"Guns, so many rifles, hahahaha, we're getting rich now!"
"The machine gun is mine. No one is allowed to follow me!"
"Donkey Day, I want the heavy machine gun on the tank, haha, that heavy machine gun is mine."
These militiamen were obviously a little lost. It was too late when Wang Ye was about to remind him, and one of them had a burning Type 95 tank that suddenly opened fire.
The dense bullets rushed over.
The two militiamen were caught off guard and were swept down.
It turns out that there are still tank soldiers hiding in the carriage.
"Fuck!" Wang Ye cursed and shouted: "Don't be anxious, there is one inside!"
After waiting for a few more minutes, the Japanese hiding in the tank car finally couldn't help it. He leaned out of the turret cap and crawled out of the top cover of the turret without any effort, and was shot dead in an instant.
More than a dozen bullets directly knocked the Japanese into sieve.
Wang Ye then shouted: "There are all, hurry up and clean the battlefield."
"Only collect weapons and ammunition, don't want anything else. Wolf Warrior Squadron, seize the commanding heights and establish a warning position!"
With Wang Ye's order, Wei Xilai immediately jumped up from the shooting position, then ran up with a sniper rifle and jumped onto the broken wall of the ruins.
There is a platform on the broken wall.
The platform just finished the fire and the temperature was a little high.
But Wei Xilai didn't care about that much and just lay down.
He also set up the sniper rifle and locked the street intersection with a scope.
On the street, hundreds of militia have flocked out of the ruins.
Shen Quan followed behind and shouted: "Don't forget to finish it, finish it!"
But no matter how you remind me repeatedly, there will always be people who are careless and negligent.
Without any warning, the two Japanese suddenly rushed up from the ground and rushed towards a veteran and a militia respectively.
The veteran reacted quickly, raised his hand and shot the Japanese in the face, shooting them to the spot, but the militia's reaction was half a beat slower and was caught by the Japanese in an instant.
"Back, back, back, back!"
The ghost took a bayonet and slapped the militia's neck, roaring loudly in Japanese, with a ferocious expression.
He actually didn't want to get up. He actually just wanted to pretend to be dead and pass the test quietly. However, if the Eighth Route Army did not let him pretend to be dead, he would have to take the Eighth Route Army as a hostage and perhaps he would have a chance to survive.
The militia was pressed against the neck by a bayonet, and his whole face turned pale.
More than a dozen veterans and more militiamen raised their rifles in their hands like crazy and pointed them at the Japanese.
But no one dared to shoot rashly, because the Japanese hid behind the militia. If they fired, they would easily hurt their own people by mistake. If they didn't dare to shoot, they could only yell desperately.
"Let's put down your weapons and we will spare you!"
"If you don't dare to attack, you will be dead!"
"The Japanese, I have the will to let A Si go, let's fight alone!"
A Japanese, dozens of Chinese soldiers, shouted loudly in two languages.
At this moment, with a puff, the Japanese brows bloomed with blood, and then fell back straight.
Wang Ye turned around and saw Wei Xilai wave at him from the platform of the ruins cliff. He fired the shot just now.
Militia A Si also followed and sat down on the ground with a butt. Then, a pool of water stains oozed out from under his crotch, which was frightened.
There is a great horror between life and death.
Few people can truly face it calmly.
The other militia had no intention of laughing at him, so they rushed forward and helped him up.
But A Si became stupid and stupid. It would probably be difficult to recover in a short period of time, but as long as he passes this barrier, he will grow into a true veteran.
...
Guichuan Qing came to the frontier position.
"Chief of Staff." Hirohiro Mori came forward and greeted him.
"Maori-kun." Kiyoshi Kamekawa returned to the Israeli military salute and said, "The division commander asked me to see what the battle is like?"
"It went smoothly." Hirohiro Mori smiled, "I have ordered the Fourth Infantry Squadron and the First Tank Team to break into Dagu Town from three directions at the same time. If nothing unexpected happens, you will be able to control the entire town soon."
He paused and said, "Although it is just a ruin."
Maori Guangbo is still very confident in controlling the entire town.
Because the fire that lasted for a day and night had already burned all the houses in the town into ruins. Without these houses as cover, what else could the Eighth Route Army compete with the Imperial Army?
"Character?" Kiyoshi Kaguchi frowned, "Didn't the division commander say that you should use the chariot troops carefully in street fighting?"
"It's okay." Mori Hirohiro waved his hand and said, "The entire Dagu Town has been burned into ruins. This is no longer the real street fighting terrain, so the tank troops will not be in danger."
"We should try to be as careful as possible." Qiong Kamekawa said in a deep voice, "The Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment is not an ordinary force. They are not only strong in combat power, but also very good at making and using various weapons, such as mould bottles made of white wine, which are enough to pose a fatal threat to the Imperial Army's chariots in street fighting."
While speaking, an observation sentry suddenly shouted: "Captain, look!"
Maori Hirohiro looked back quickly and saw several Japanese soldiers fleeing out of the street entrance on the right side of Dagu Town. There was a tank behind these Japanese soldiers.
However, the tank had already ignited a raging fire.
"Nani?" Hirohiro Mori couldn't believe his eyes. How could it be?
Kiyoshi Kamekawa's face collapsed quickly. The idiot Maori Hirobo is probably going to pay another chariot team!
In just a moment, the tank broke down and then opened the top of the turret, and the three tank soldiers who had already caught fire crawled out of it.
But he fell to the ground before running far.
In just a moment, the three tank soldiers were swallowed by the fire.
Seeing this, Guichuan Qing's face turned dark.
But Hirohiro Maori was still murmuring there: "How is that possible?"
Kiyoshi Kamekawa couldn't help it and said angrily: "Mori, I know you are a child of the Maori family, with a noble family, and a top student who graduated from the Army University. However, the real battlefield is different from the battlefield in military textbooks. The street fighting you are learning is different from the street fighting in reality!"
"Hayi!" Maori Hirobo said with a head-on note.
This time, Maori Guangbo finally had nothing to say.
Because the tragic result was already in front of him.
Kiyoshi Kaguchi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "But fortunately, he only lost an infantry squadron and a chariot squadron. But next, I hope you can learn from your lessons and not make the same mistakes again. Although our Second Guard Division has a large number of troops and excellent equipment, it cannot withstand such losses as you."
"Hayi." Maori Hirohiro paused again.
There is still no defense.
Seeing this, Guichuan Qing's face looked slightly better.
At least Maori is a little responsible and dares to admit it if he doesn't do well. Unlike those royal children who are not optimistic about it, they are accustomed to shirking responsibility.
At that moment, Kiyoshi Kamekawa said again: "Mori, what are you going to do next?"
Mori Hirohiro said in a deep voice: "Chief of Staff, I have to ask the defeated soldiers who escaped before deciding how to attack the next step."
"Yosi."
Kiyoshi Kamekawa nodded happily.
It seems that Maori Guangbo has indeed improved.
The defeated soldiers quickly fled back and were called by Maori Hirobo.
Faced with Maori Hirohiro and Kamekawa Kiyoshi, the defeated soldiers were so scared that they were trembling because according to the regulations, they might have to end up with a sperm of guilt.
Not everyone has the courage to seduce the stomach.
These defeated soldiers do not have the courage to do so.
If they had the courage to commit suicide by separatism, they would not choose to escape and died in battle on the battlefield just now.
"Don't be afraid." Hirohiro Mori took the initiative to take the responsibility on himself and said in a deep voice, "You have fulfilled your obligation to be an imperial soldier. The failure just now was caused by my command error and has nothing to do with you."
"Hayi." Several defeated soldiers bowed their heads one after another, ashamed, grateful and glad, and their expressions were extremely complicated.
Maori Hirohiro asked again: "Now, please tell me what happened in the town just now? Why did the three infantry squads and three chariot squads be destroyed so quickly?"
"Hayi!" One of the defeated soldiers paused, "Shortly after the vanguard group came, our third team entered the town under the guidance of the chariot team, and everything was normal in the first hundred meters."
"But after a hundred meters, a large number of Chinese soldiers suddenly appeared on both sides of the street."
"There are at least one battalion with more than 300 people, and at least fifteen machine guns, with dense firepower cross-covering, so we can't even find a hidden cover."
"They also threw many moor bottles."
"The tanks of the tanks were also destroyed."
"Wait." Hirohiro Mori said with a stern expression, "You just said that there were at least one battalion of more than 300 troops on both sides of the street? There were at least fifteen light machine guns?"
"Yes." The defeated army said, "One camp is only more or less."
Mori Hirohiro turned his eyes to Kiyoshi Kagukawa and said, "Chief of Staff, it seems that our previous judgment was wrong. The Eighth Route Army in Dagu Town has far more than one battalion, and there should be at least one regiment."
Guichuan Qing waved his hand and said, "The regular army is probably only one battalion at most, and the rest should be the Tu Eighth Route Militia."
"Military?" said Hirohiro Mori, "Chief of Staff, the militia of the Eighth Route Army of Turkish Eighth Route cannot have such dense firepower, and even more impossible to have such strong combat power. This must be a regular army."
"No." Kiyoshi Kamekawa said, "The independent group cannot be measured by common sense."
"Okay." Maori Hirobo paused his head and said, "But our Maori Brigade will not let them go if there are regular troops or Turkish Eighth Route militias in Dagu Town."
He paused and said, "This time, I decided to join the main force of the brigade to launch the general attack."
"General Attack?" Qiong Kaguchi frowned and said, "Would you be too fucked?"
"No." said Hirohiro Mori, "This time we will not push from the street again, but will push directly from the ruins of houses on both sides of the street, so the Eighth Route Army will not be able to attack us again."
